Alright the 305 in my 85 k10 is ticking and knocking like crazy and has no power anymore, in other words its time for a new engine
. I'm on a major budget (16 year old, part-time job) but I'd like to get a new crate 350 instead of rebuilding the 305. the one I'm looking at in particular is the Gm Goodwrench 350 with 260hp. I was thinking about getting a package deal on Jegs or Skoggin-Dickey that comes with the edelbrock 600cfm carb, performer intake, msd ignition etc. Has anybody had any experience with it? Also, what will I be able to carry over from the 305 to the 350? Radiator, alternator, water pump? Anything else that I will need? I'm assuming my 700r4will handle it just fine also..One more question, What do you think a shop would charge me to install it? I know what yall are gonna say, Just do it yourself! blah blah blah. Well thats not an option right now. I dont have the tools or the engine hoist or the knowledge to do it and all my friends have brand new vehicles and dont even know how to change the oil! So theres no way...Thanks
